To buy an established company in the Netherlands

The easiest way is to find a company in the Netherlands, which provides turnkey services. This is one of the fastest and most reliable options, because the company exists on the national market and is most likely to have already established connections and contacts in the local network. They know who is selling what, where, and at what price, or they can quickly find it out for you. This service costs a little more, but in the end, it saves you time, effort and nerves.

A purchase deal is conducted ONLY by a notary

The advantageous side of establishing, acquiring and running a business in the Netherlands is the absence of bureaucracy and unnecessary documents. To make a deal of the purchase of a company in the Netherlands, you just need to provide the necessary documents.

The documents necessary to complete the deal

  • Notarial translation of the passport of the shareholder / shareholders.
  • A notary certified and translated certificate of registration and residence of shareholders at the specified address. If shareholders are EU citizens, it is enough to provide a utility bill for the last 3 months.
  • A completed and signed KYC form as required by the company you will be working with.

The package of documents after the deal

  • The Act of Purchase. This document confirms the fact of the deal and is an integral part of it. If this document is missing, the deal is considered invalid.
  • Company’s Constitution, better apostilled. The Constitution is the main document of the company. It can be either in English or in Dutch, necessarily sealed and signed by the Notary, it is better to be apostilled as well, which makes it legally valid in any other country. However it can be without an apostille, which can be added later.
  • An Extract from the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) is also a part of the constituent documents. Make sure the extract contains the names of new shareholders and the director. In case it contains the outdated information, an updated version should be requested.
  • Company Register with amendments. The Register is a book of records of a joint-stock company, which contains all changes to the company; correspondingly, the transfer of shares must be registered there too.
  • Internal documentation of the company, for example, the act of resolution of the founder and other agreements may be included in the main package of documents.

What should be kept in mind to avoid a fraud

After the deal is closed, be sure to check the following: spelling of names, presence of date, signatures, notarial signature, presence of an apostille, quality of paper, compliance with SBI codes (types of activities indicated in the extract from the KvK Chamber of Commerce).
